the latter company are now going over
the route of the American Union lines

Gable Company has opened test offices
along the route, ard will,

to compete with the Western Union
for the local cable business. Rspre-
sentstives of the Western Union are
watching the French Cable Company's
men, and at every place where the
wires are cut enter protest, but do
not interfere. The matter will evil
IDENTIFY be litigated. The trouble be-
tween the companies grew out OF the
French Gable Compsny's withdrawal
from the cable pool, The French Ca
BILE Company claims two wires from
New York to the Cape Cod offics, and

cutting those wires wherever they are

TORY TYRANNY.

In dealing with Ireland the English
Tory never knew any other resource
than the old one OF the Inquisitlon--

said about the system the Tory gov

shows that, Bourbon like, II has forgot
nothing and learned nothing. 1t is
stated the Tory coercion bill makes
organic ition for political purposes in
Ireland criminal, which, should II pass,
would be In itself a crime. But II does
even worse than this, II an Irishman
is accused Of belonging to the National

upon conviction, but upon mere accusa-

they can to provoke the Irish people
to commit some outrage, by which
their atrocious bill may be forced
through Parliament. Mr.. DAvltt has

her schools, the oppression Of her peo-

nations, Ireland was now held up to
